Special Opportunity for First-Time Home Buyers

CUA is pleased to announce it's participation in the Georgia Dream Homeownership Program. The program, offered in conjunction with Briarwood Financial, LLC, provides first-time homebuyers the opportunity to purchase a home with little or no down payment and low 30-year fixed interest rates. This program is an opportunity for deserving first-time buyers to access discounted mortgage financing with little or no down payment and avoid the pitfalls of sub-prime programs or dangerous adjustable rate loans.

The Dream Loan is administered by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs. In addition to the below-market fixed interest rate, the program allows for common-sense credit underwriting, discounted mortgage insurance, lower closing costs and the availability of a zerointerest, deferred payment 2nd mortgage to serve as a down payment. All types of housing in the metro area are eligible, including single-family, condos and town homes up to a $250,000 purchase price. Housing Authority grants, if available, can be utilized with the program also. Check with your local Authority on their eligibility requirements.

In order to be eligible for the 100% Dream Loan, singles and couples must have household income of less than $67,000, and families of less than $78,000. Federal tax returns must have been filed in the past three years and total non-IRA assets cannot exceed a level of a 20% down payment. In the initial meeting with your CUA loan officer, questions about your family income and cash assets will be asked. Your credit report will also be accessed and discussed at that time. The overall debt load and demonstrated ability and willingness to repay monthly obligations on time are important factors in gaining loan approval. Occasional late pays, small medical collections or derogatory information that is several years old rarely prevents a member from being approved; however, major events (foreclosure, bankruptcy, liens, and judgments) can be major obstacles. We want to make sure that any major credit problems are well behind you so that your new mortgage does not present additional hardship.

We look forward to offering this unique and very beneficial loan program to our membership! Call us today or just stop in so we can discuss how to make your dreams of homeownership a reality! Come to Atlanta City Employees Credit Union and get started today!
